The Tamiya liquid primer performs slightly better, but it has an unpleasant smell.  The AK primer, like other acrylic primers, doesn't stick to an oily surface very well.  However, it adheres to a clean surface much better than the Vallejo primer. In the winter, I exclusively used the AK primer because I didn't want to leave the window open. Nowadays, I use Tamiya for kits difficult to wash and AK for kits easy to wash.

Good to know.  I just bought some and I haven't used it yet.

Just got mine. To confirm, you're airbrushing, as is, not thinned at all?

Dissatisfied with Vallejo acrylic primer, I bought AK Interactive acrylic primer.  It's impressive. It sprays extremely well out of the bottle.  6 hours after spraying, I tested its adhesion with very sticky 3M blue masking tape.  No lifting whatsoever.  Plus, it's sandable.  To me, it's as good as Tamiya primer but has no odor.

If you're looking for great acrylic primer, look no further.
